Last month I challenged myself to reduce waste in our house hold by reducing my use of paper towels & attempting to grocery shop waste free. Part of that challenge was to finding ways to cook with zero waste, which meant recipes that didn't use any pre-packaged items. I decided to make a no-waste soup, which seemed like the easiest way to accomplish waste-free recipe. I had already made no-waste veggie broth, and needed to start using it up.

This black bean soup is incredibly easy with the Instant Pot, and you don't even have to soak the beans over night! Just give them a quick rinse and they're good to go!
